    This was the first Aphex Twin tune I ever heard (Chillout Zone on MTV), and loved. I had no idea who or what an Aphex Twin was, but it blew my tiny little cloistered and ignorant 17 year old brain: I'd always liked electronic music, but this wasn't even music. This was something else.

    Thank you, Richard D James. You changed my music forever.
